assistant
The human resources department is usually responsible for onboarding new employees. This usually involves orienting new staff members to their roles, providing them with necessary resources, determining their compensation and benefits, resolving any legal issues that arise, and helping them to integrate into their new workplace. Onboarding can also involve introducing new hires to the company culture, policies and procedures, and helping them to build relationships with existing coworkers. Generally, the onboarding process includes a combination of formal orientation sessions, individualized training, and informal conversations to ensure the employee is prepared and ready to excel in the new job.
